Share your research, network with leading neuroscientists, and celebrate your colleagues' work at Neuroscience 2019 Oct. 19–23 in Chicago.

Recent actions such as federal communication restrictions, funding freezes, and a new uncertain landscape for federal employees have left neuroscientists who receive funding through federal grants concerned about whether their important work will continue or be significantly hampered. Join fellow NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to protect congressionally approved funding for biomedical research and the scientific workforce and ensure reliable funding continues uninterrupted.

Join your fellow NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to reject the use of continuing resolutions by passing FY2022 appropriations packages before the end of current funding, December 3. Send your Representative and Senators a message via SfN’s Advocacy Action Center and personalize it by including why predictable funding for biomedical research is important to you.

In light of the very recent federal executive actions that affect NIH including a freeze on hiring, study sections, Advisory Council meetings, travel, and communications, I wanted to reach out to all of you today. While these actions are in some cases without precedent, many of them have been applied more broadly across many or most federal agencies by the new Administration, and it will be some time before we understand any possible lasting impacts on NIH specifically. My hope is that this action will be short-lived.

This workshop explores the intersection of neuroscience, education, and diplomacy in shaping global policy and societal change. The workshop will showcase how neuroscience research improves education, mental health, and public decision-making in diverse target populations, highlighting case studies from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia. Attendees will learn about collaborative frameworks, strategies to overcome challenges, and the role of scientific leadership in addressing societal issues.

The membership of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) recently elected Barry Everitt, president-elect, the first member based outside of North America to hold the position since the Society was founded in 1969.

Yes. SfN provides free wireless internet access in designated areas of the convention center during the meeting. SfN will also provide support for wireless users. Feel free to browse the web, communicate with your colleagues, or use it for any other internet activity. Consider the security implications of using the wireless network and protect your device appropriately. We expect thousands of attendees to use the system at any given time, so please refrain from using bandwidth-intensive applications (e.g. video and audio streaming, app downloads, transferring large files, etc.) to prevent your wireless speed from slowing to a crawl.

Join your fellow NeuroAdvocates and tell Congress to support the Research Investment to Spark the Economy (RISE) Act, which authorizes nearly $25 billion for research impacted by COVID-19, including $10 billion for the National Institutes of Health and $3 billion for the National Science Foundation. Send your Representative and Senators a message via SfN’s Advocacy Action Center.
